[Verse 1]
I have watched the battles raging
In the fiery fields of hell
Up and out now I come blazing
From the pits where I have dwelled
I have tasted cold betrayal
And fought against my will
This old heart can't burn forever
Yet it glows within me still
[Chorus]
Every heartbeat stokes the flame
Sends a dark heat through my veins
Every heartbeat holds the pain
Deep in my heart of flames
Deep in my heart of flames
[Verse 2]
Now we travel on together
A purpose that will bind
Our thoughts and our ambitions
Our memories and minds
If my heart should overwhelm me
I will acquiesce with grace
For I am thankful for each moment
Each friendship and embrace
[Chorus]
Every heartbeat stokes the flame
Sends a dark heat through my veins
Every heartbeat holds the pain
Deep in my heart of flames
Deep in my heart of flames
[Bridge]
The laughter and the sorrow
The wonder and the woe
With every path we follow
Wherever we may go
This infernal burning engine
This heavy heart I bear
Is light when we're together
My burden now is shared
[Chorus]
Every heartbeat stokes the flame
Sends a dark heat through my veins
Every heartbeat holds the pain
Deep in my heart of flames
Deep in my heart of flames
